Leighton Smith Podcast #239 - May 15th 2024 - Jonathan Rauch
Manage episode 418314479 series 2501767
A sceptical knowledge-seeking society will always welcome controversy, criticism and inquiry, even about ostensibly long-settled ideas.
And free expression plays an indispensable role in society, sorting truth from falsehood.
Jonathan Rauch is a journalist, and author of a number of books.
While a very pleasant interviewee, it will be interesting to see how many of you he will agitate.
We make comment on Pope Francis; again, he is wrong.
Two Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court issue warnings about the state of America.
And once again, we visit The Mailroom.
